The legend says that during this recording, Bobby impregnated seven women in the audience. Some say it even worked with a dude.
Oh my God, .... words fail me!
That's hilarious dude, I'm giggling as I write this...
What the........he he he ha ha 😂
😂😂😂
It's probably true!!!
A dude? I heard it was 3?
There goes another one. She just lost her heart to Bobby Hatfield.
Hahaha! So, true! Back in the day, I put a lot of coins in the Juke Box at the bowling alley to play the Righteous Brothers. Brings back a lot of memories!
Every time! 😂 Hand on the heart, adjusting hair, fanning themselves… this guy is hypnotic 😂 so amazing ❤
Seriously 👍
A lot of people have covered this song, but no one has done it better than Bobby. He owns this.
Elvis 1977 piano version during last concert was best. Elvis made every song better then original
Excpt this one, and I'm a big Elvis fan@@tc3501
Until Tom Jones sings it.
Tom is great, but the song belongs to Bobby.@@rickberge
@@rickberge i like Tom Jones, but not even close to this version
There will never be another Bobby Hatfield. So many cover this song but they are wasting their time.
Bobby owns this song.. noone will ever surpass him
You are correct, even Elvis could not match Bobby on this song.
I agree, but Elvis comes close.
@@mikechapman7501 No, Bobby owns it.
Live performance before auto tune existed. Fantastic voice. And those blue eyes. 🥰
Bobby Hatfield -- A performance that is still moving the hearts and touching the souls of generations that were yet to be born at the time.
The greatest performance in history .
I totally agree.
Live, no gimmicks no electronics just talent.
Yup
A lot just as good or better. Yall haven’t lived long enough to witness lol
@@dmdm9198 NOT EVEN CLOSE 78
60 years later and this is still considered one of if not the most beautiful love songs ever recorded! great reaction
Yep. My wife knew the song, of course, but she had never seen the live version so I played it for her one night after we had been out. She loved it of course and I thought I might get laid. Didn’t work. I ain’t Bobby.
NO one has a voice like Bobby Hatfield today! I don't know of one!!
This live performance is actually even better than the official studio recording of the song, so I'm glad that so many people today have rediscovered it.
He doesn't even attempt some of those high notes in the studio version.
Perhaps, the greatest live performance ever.
Definitely right up there. Big O did a great version of "Walk On" but it wasn't live. Big O wrote a lot of his own stuff too (but don't know if he wrote this one).
1965.. this is before we went to the moon.. so you know there was no such thing as computer enhancement or auto tune.. this was just pure raw talent AMAZING Voice...NO one can sing it like him !!!!
Yup, I see Bobby is still breaking hearts. I saw this when it was on, just an incredible performance.
Bill Medley’s voice is also one of a kind…and together it’s sublime:)
This song will NEVER grow old. So so beautyfull.
This song was written in 1955 for a movie "Unchained". It was also used in the movie "Ghost". Many artists have recorded this song. NOBODY does it like Bobby Hatfield. He passed away in 2003. RIP Bobby. Live performance. No auto tunes.
These guys actually did kid around on stage and talked to the audience between numbers. 'Unchained Melody' was a song Bobby had been singing before the Righteous Brothers got together and he chose it to be his solo on the album Bill was producing ... Bill produced all their albums even when they were with Phil Specter, the hot-shot 'boy-wonder' producer of the sixties. Bill not only produced it, he played piano on the original studio version and sang backup. (You can just hear him in the beginning bars on the record). The high notes at the end were Bobby's own innovation and many singers after him tried to emulate him.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this 1965 classic live performance! Bobby was 25 years old and his mother was in the audience to see and hear them for the first time. He was a bit nervous with her being there and smiled at the end knowing he nailed it.
You have to do "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" when you do Righteous Brother again; it will showcase Bill Medley's talent also. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ola...
He makes you want to go back in time, doesn't he? I love it that most young women reacting to the Righteous Brothers are feeling what we felt back then. These two were God given talents and then he broke the mold. Thank you for delving back to the time when music was pure.
The great Righteous Brothers I listened to when I was in high school. I was 15 yrs old when Bobby sang this song live on the Andy Williams show. I own every record album they made during the 60's. So many memories. RIP Bobby! We miss your beautiful voice!
This is the incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Performed (Live) 59 years ago on the NBC Andy Williams Television Show. This performance of music composers Alex North and lyricist Hy Zaret was originally written for the (1955) Movie "Unchained." It's about a minimum-security prison for prisoners living unchained with no prison cells. And in (1965) ten years later this live version and performance by Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra has become the quintessential version of them all.
This arrangement and version by the NBC Studio Orchestra and the beautiful voice of Bobby Hatfield has made this the greatest live performance in Televison history.
The NBC Studio Orchestra's arrangement and Bobby Hatfield's epic singing has become the version every orchestra and every singer since 1965 has used ever since. This was the greatest live performance of the 20th century. Brilliant!
The range of a cowboy singer delivered like a soul singer.
He pulled it off.
RIP Bobby.
THE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME BY THE LATE GREAT BOBBY HATFIELD! 22 NOTE CHANGES AND 3 OCTAVES! TRULY REMARKABLE!
This is the singular solo vocalist performance in music history.
Bobby's mojo reaches across nearly 60 years and snags another one.😂😂
This may be the best live musical performance ever. The studio version of this song is good, no doubt about that, I think most people have heard it at one time or another and virtually everyone would agree it was a good performance.
This here was so much more, I never fully appreciated this song until I heard this epic performance.
Now of course I understand the backstory a bit and I know this was apparently the first time his mother had ever been able to hear him perform live. Makes sense, he pulled out all the stops, he gave this his all and it's just superb in every way. Being able to see it as opposed to just hearing it, it gives you an appreciation for the the skill and precision he used to execute this. Just great in every conceivable way.
This is how music is supposed to make you feel..lol. 😂
After nearly 60 years ago and 21 at the time, I never tire of this great song, what a great time to live through this period, 50s 60s 70s 80s, never ever to be repeated, only through channels like this, its kept alive and appreciated. Thanks.
Welcome to the Righteous Brothers world of beautiful music. Bobby Hatfield in this solo performance of ‘Unchained Melody’ will be remembered for generations….as long as we are on this planet.
Song was written in the 50’s and it was sang in a movie by a prison inmate. It has since been done 3 times. It was in top 20 by two different people. However, NOBODY ever sang it like Bobby Hatfield and probably never will again. In the studio version he does not go into the two last highs. He is two octaves lower on finishing. But this is how he wanted to do it and he nails it LIVE on tv without any technology on one take. Way to go Bobby! Magical!
Twenty years in his grave and Bobby Hatfield is still making women's hearts flutter....
Definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever. Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. When he teams up with Bill Medley they belt out such great songs as You lost that Loving Feeling Soul and Inspiration Just once in my Life and more. Also they were on Fire 🔥🔥🔥 doing Little Latin Lupe Lu and The Nightime is the Right Time. Best of success on yr channel.
This song has been recorded by 670 Artists around the world including Elvis Presley. This song will always belong to Bobby Hatfield. No one else can hit the end notes. Thank you.
All women love this song. Next time you are with your lady just turn down the lights and put on this song. Watch the magic. 😁
ask her to dance with you as a gentleman would...
We called that "pantie dropping music" back in the day!😅❤
And many a pair dropped or had to be wrung out.
A brilliant singer! What a voice!
Can you imagine in the 60's dancing with your love to this melody, holding each other tight. I can as I did and it makes me weak.
Did it. As did many others. At our prom!
Blue eyed soul at its best.
The greatest voice of all times🥰😍🤓
It's called Blue-Eyed Soul. Great times. I grew up with this. You youngsters get it back!!
After that performance there wasn't a dry seat in the house.
The song was originally written for, and sung in the 1955 movie 'Chained'. It was a prisoner singing his love for his girlfriend he could not see. It was this version 10 years later, that became a hit when Bobby sang it. He was so nervous at 23 years old, as his parents were in the audience, but he did a terrific job. The best version ever!
Bill was joking about the “Hit“. They actually flipped a coin, and Bobby won the chance to sing it. (they always did solo performances on their album live concerts) You can’t go wrong with the suggestions from Your other viewers, as they pretty much never made a bad song. They had a lot of big hits but, some of the Less known songs are very surprising! Yeah, when you hear them together, you’re gonna be stunned!
The coin flip was a joke too, and became a rumor. Bobby Hatfield sang this song with his original group The Variations, and said "I had that one in my pocket". ❤
I am a Boomer . I am so glad I grew up to listen to the best songs of rock and pop in history. Nobody outdoes Bobby in this performance. He set The bar so high. I have never heard anyone equal it in any song. There are a lot that came close to the bar but None is better than Bobby. He earned the gold medal of all time for male singers.
Bobby's mom was in the audience and he was so nervous because it was the first time singing this song in front of her.
You lost that loving feeling is a must listen to. It showcases both singers. For another dose of Bobby, check out his performance of Summertime.
From what I've read one if the nicest person in the music business.
Priceless reaction to probably the most beautiful song of that era. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings.
The late great Bobby Hatfield. No one could sing this song better! Absolutely marvelous!
I heard Him sing this in concert! An experience!
His parents were in the audience and this was the first time they saw him sing in public. Bill Medley (the dark haired guy) was kidding.
When he bites his lip at the end...❤😍😍
Bobby Hatfield live performance .
The Andy Williams Show-
Episode #4.5
Episode aired Oct 25, 1965:
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song.
*In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63.
The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side.
* The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
* This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.
There are over 600 covers of this song,the rest of them simply don't matter.their voices were silk and thunder together they were almost perfection.
I cried, always when I hear this.😢😢
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!
Best react to their other great hit in You've Lost That Loving Feeling. (You might recognize that one).
Most will say react to , You’ve lost that loving feeling, certainly one of their top 2 songs , however “Soul and Inspiration” will, as Bill said, Knock your socks off.
I was 15 yr in 1965....Beautiful Tenor Voice of Bobby Hatfield.....
Pure class,
Artists who never needed Autotune, pure talent.
It was a joke that he didn’t think it was going to be a hit. They flipped a coin and Bobby won that time. So did we. Bill has an amazing baritone but Bobby’s tenor was perfect for this song. Truly one of the greatest live performances of all time.
The coin flip was a joke too, which became a rumor. Bobby Hatfield sang this song with his original group The Variations, and said "I had that one in my pocket". ❤
This is how angels sing.
Taking in to consideration this is the best preference live no gimmick no redos it was on live tv. I went to my parents house to visit and they loved this show, i still remember the look on there faces. That is in my memories for ever
Hi I’m 75 this song is my favourite . I also love YOUVE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING ❤
This song originally came from a 1955 prison movie titled "Unchained." It reflects how much the main character misses his wife while he's in prison. In the movie, it was sung by Todd Duncan who was the first black singer to appear in the New York City Opera.
A very merry Christmas 🎉 you have a great channel thank you
I have been in love with Bobby Hatfield...this song since I was a young girl..I am now 73. I love watching you young girls fall in love with him too.
Welcome to blue eyed soul .......
I mostly associate you with your movie reactions, but when I saw that you were reacting to this, I thought it was perfect. It's such an incredibly romantic song and such a beautiful performance, and your reactions are so sweet and sensitive.
Unchain melody is a song that was used in a movie from 1955 titled the same unchain melody 10 years later 1965 a massive hit song for the righteous Brothers. Labeled blue eyed soul.
You're makin' some incredible material here
Great reaction, Ms. Olavita. ❤
Definitely go next to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." 👍
I can’t think of any other song that is as impossible as this to cover , BEAUTIFUL
I was fortunate enough to have been listening to the best music ever made from the late 60’s until the mid nineties- the best music recorded 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤙🤙🇺🇸🤠
They didn't write it, it's an older song from a movie called Unchained about a guy in prison.
Bobby was performing in front of his mother ,this song,for the very first time,...(she was in the front row of the audience).... So naturally,its considered his best ever performance.
Lovely reaction and so nice you only stopped for a minute, so many keep stopping it.
Such a beautiful song. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
@@OlavityMusic Thanks so much. Hope you will react to more Righteous Brothers. You've Lost that Lovin Feeling is an amazing song that I hope you will react to.
Ur so nice & sincere…..great action to legendary UA-cam reactor staple. Reactions to this performance is what got me addicted to UA-cam reactions about two years ago.
The song "Unchained Melody " was originally written in, I think 1955 for a movie named Unchained. The guy who sang it was in prison and an inmate. It sounded so much different than when Bobby performed it live in 1965. Probably the GOAT live performance, no sound filters, no autotune, just live vocals.
A timeless performance.
Agree you need to hear you've lost that loving feeling. Also soul inspiration and I just want to make l9ve to you. All great soulful songs.
This was the most important
View song of all time, sang by
Bobby Hatfield, on the Andy
Willians Show, in the year of
1965. My respects, to the
Great Bobby Hatfield.
Rest in peace, Bobby Hatfield.
Bobby Hatfield has the most acclaim and popular version of this song. But it has been covered by Elvis, (EP's friend) Roy Hamilton, Al Hibler, the Manhattan Transfer, and the Platters just to name a few. Check out the origin and history of this classic song to hear some of the 1,500 renditions. Nice reaction. Bobby may have been a little nervous because his parents were sitting in the audience.
Where have you been that song is one of the best in the world.
Amazing reaction
Cam you please react to Elvis Presley's version of this song
He might not look well because it was 6 weeks before his death
But his voice will give you goosebumps
Love your reaction
I have subscribed ❤
Bobby Hatfield is simply one of the best voices to ever walk out on a stage. Bill Medley is equally amazing in his own way.
Medley had a lower voice, did she lost that lovin feeling...these are their best, signature songs...
Very talented.
I subscribed when I saw you cared enough about what you're doing to wear headphones. Plus your critique was nice
Loved your reaction! It is such a beautiful love song. Brings me right back to my teen age years in the 80's when I worked in a supper club and all they played was 50's and 60's music.
This song was used in the movie Ghost with Patrick Stewart, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg
Sensacional...o cara canta demais...
She is so doggone cute and sweet! ♥️😊
BOBBY HATFIELD SANG THIS SONG AND HE DAD A GREAT VOICE AND SADLY HE DIED 😔
Seen the RB 4 times. Every time BH sang this song he received a standing ovation.
6:11
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration, and you've lost that loving feeling, which, by the way, was the most requested song of the 1900s. Bill Medley also led the duet of the Dirty Dancing hit, I've Had the Time of My Life
